Abstract

We study the evolution in time of the statistical distribution of some addiction phenomena in a system of individuals. The kinetic approach leads to build up a novel class of Fokker–Planck equations describing relaxation of the probability density solution towards a generalized Gamma density. A qualitative analysis reveals that the relaxation process is very stable, and does not depend on the parameters that measure the main microscopic features of the addiction phenomenon.
